Volunteer Kenya has openings for volunteer teachers at our grade school in rural Africa. Our grade school, Epico Jahns, has over 300 students in grades K-5. We build a new classroom each year to accommodate the advancing students and will eventually have a full primary school through Grade 8. Volunteer teachers work alongside our full-time staff of Kenyan teachers. The volunteers help with lesson plans, tutoring, class projects, etc. Our grade school is located in the beautiful setting of Kabula village in western Kenya. Since 1998, we have had over 300 volunteers from all background and numerous countries including the US, Canada, UK, Switz, Australia, Spain, Japan, etc. Volunteer positions are available year round for 1-3 months in length.
